Located on Historic Federal Hill, Providence Oyster Bar stands out as Rhode Island's premiere Seafood House. Upscale, yet casual, the Providence Oyster Bar welcomes you to be spoiled by the freshest selection of oysters and clams.

Stopped for brunch on our way back from Logan Airport. Just what we needed, active but relaxed, bottomless mimosa and an awesome bacon Bloody Mary. Great variety- I had lobster wontons and my husband had a huge plate of biscuits and gravy which they got spot on. Highly recommend!

Just a weekend away with hubby. We heard great things about this place so we made reservations. We read about Appy Hour, so we went earlier to experience that. Oysters and sushi were fantastic. But $15 for a glass of wine that basically cost $15-$18 per bottle took away from any appy deal. So our bill was $60 for 2 glasses of wine each and $18 for appetizers. Just a bit off. Dinner was very good... and by then we knew water was the drink! Bottom Line, good food but expensive to have a couple glasses of wine!

We were there late night for Valentine's day and it was amazing. We had the P.O.B sampler along with a Philly roll and the wasabi ginger calamari. Everything was perfect! The raw bar items were fresh as can be expected and a great selection. We will be returning again. Thank you!

We were there for Valentine's Day. We loved the fresh seafood and the paella for two. We were delighted with the homemade Tiramisu. Our server was attentive but not intrusive. The manager checked in with us to make sure we were happy...we were. The bar was active and full of patrons...looked a tad crowded, so we were very content at our table. Terrific oyster selection from RI, MASS, and NY.

my girlfriend and I dined here for dinner as we were craving oysters! We ordered a bunch of different items- oysters were great as always. We got the lobster wontons which were not good- couldnt taste lobster meat just something with spice in some friend dough. We also got some sushi rolls- several were flavorful and others were bland. I would recommend oyster bar for HH drinks and snacks- not a full dinner.

My daughter and I ate at Providence Oyster Bar on Saturday night. We are from West coast and wanted some Eastern seafood...so we over indulged. Oyster Rockefeller, lobster bisque, calamari and then giant scallops. Our server was excellent. Cocktails - martini and wine!We loved it!

We were there for restaurant week and ordered the swordfish from the prix fixe menu and it was dry. Bread pudding was dry as well. Service was good and we had a nice booth. Was here a few years ago and food was great. Maybe best not to go during restaurant week.

It wasn't a long wait for the table, that was good. We were sat in the rear of the restaurant, a fair seat. Many times while siting there was a gush of cold air, for which my wife really notice, she had a dress. The food was top shelf, my wife pick here for the sea food, said we had dined to much at Hemingway's, this was a nice change. More attention for dusting, my wife is a clean freak and had slide her finger on the chair rail and was show dust on her finger tip.

We visited POB during our trip up to find a home summer 17. Everything was great and we were impressed with the menu and drinks. We sat at the bar and the staff was very friendly.

We returned In Jan. ‘18 and ordered much of the same items. The drinks were still great, however the same food items were a little lacking. Overall everything tasted fine, but it wasn’t exactly what I thought it was due to me choosing there for the items I fell in love with in the first place.

I’d still recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great find. Word to the wise: there really isn’t a day this place isn’t jumping. Opt for valet and make reservations!

I love the oyster bar and go often. I was excited to meet my friends new babies at lunch and be out together with a glass of wine. The food was delicious, that bread pudding was phenomenal and I don’t even like bananas in dessert. Our server seemed to dislike us, probably because we’re a table with babies. But oh well, they were quiet and sleeping and mommy’s got to eat too right?

We went for lunch with friends and ordered from the restaurant week menu. Everything was fabulous. The calamari was enough for 2 people and the pickled cukes with ginger was so different and tasty. The shrimp tacos were perfect with the right amount of crunch. And the bread pudding was excellent.

Was there with my husband and two business associates from PA. They were very impressed. The oysters were delicious, we choose the assortment. Two of us got the ciopionno, my husband ordered the ahi tuna, and the other gentleman ordered the sword fish. All very delicious. Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere...moderate chatter, but quiet enough to enjoy the conversation. The server was very informative, professional and helpful. My husband and I have not been there in a few years, but we will be back for sure.

A big Thank You to Matt and the whole team for making our Birthday Celebration wonderful. They were very attentive throughout the whole time and they made us feel very welcome. Food and service was great and we will be back. We traveled from Ma & CT, so plenty of options, however we picked a winner!

Fiirst time dining here on a Sunday night during the holiday season. Coconut shrimp very crispy and tasty, nice starter to share. Orderemy favorite dish of grilled swordfish but forgot to request the sauce on the side. Not a pretty sight to see nice swordfish covered in green, and as I tend to eat with my eyes first, the appearance did not make me want to dive right in. Remember to hold the saucr next time. Good amount of lobster in lobster mashed potatoes. Clams and linguini dis never disappoints. Portion sizes so abundant that we had no room for dessert.
